Hurricane Helene Recovery:
Asheville, NC Facility has Reopened

As of October 14, 2024

As Hurricane Helene recovery efforts continue, we are pleased to share the following updates on the status of Owens & Minor’s kitting operations in Asheville, NC.

Our highest priority continues to be our over 400 teammates who live and work in Asheville and the surrounding areas. We are relieved to report that all of our teammates are safe, and Owens & Minor remains committed to helping support them throughout what we know will be a long road to recovery.

Despite their personal situations, our Asheville-based teammates are demonstrating incredible resilience and enthusiasm to serve our customers, the Asheville community, and each other. Because of their commitment, our Asheville operation has now reopened and has made outstanding progress toward returning to pre-storm service levels. Therefore, Owens & Minor can now report that all previously communicated Medical Action product allocations have been lifted as of Monday, October 14.

Our thoughts continue to be with our teammates, the frontline humanitarian and emergency responders, and the entire Buncombe County community as they navigate this difficult time. If you have any questions about an order that was previously placed, please contact your Owens & Minor sales representative.
